<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>
Answer: 11369.46 m/s
Explanation:
We have the following data:
is the mass of the bowling ball
is the velocity of the bowling ball
is the mass of the ping-pong ball
is the velocity of the ping-pong ball
Now, the momentum 
of the bowling ball is:
(1)
(2)
And the momentum 
of the ping-pong ball is:
(3)
If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:
(4)
(5)
Isolating :
(6)
(7)
Finally:
Answer:
9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s
Explanation:
Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e
P = mv
Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.
From this we calculate the speed as
v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)
v = 1.5x10^7 m/s
The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg
Therefore,
P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27
P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s
Just took the test and the answer is <span>C. 1,314,718.
